This is a Workout! NOT a class! Dana will NOT be teaching, but will use her skills and experience to guide and direct you! The idea is for you to show up, find a script (or bring some scripts with you), make your choices, get behind the mic and be directed as if it were a real audition. 2 takes and then the next person is up. We will try to get through as many scripts as time allows.

Our newest Margarita Night Bonus Video is up on YouTube! A lil sneak peek of the Margaritas, Mojitos and Microphones Workshop with Bob Bergen and Bill Holmes "The Voiceover Doctor" followed by a Q & A!

Here's the Idea... It's basically a Thursday Night VO Workout Group directed by Marissa, but we've decided to spice things up and now you can bring YOUR ACTUAL auditions to record, send and hopefully, BOOK!

And what's a "Book Club" without a little WINE?!?!?!We will supply the first bottle of 2 buck chuck and anything above that you can bring yourself to share with the group for the first night or future nights down the road. It's BYOA&W! (Bring Your Own Auditions & Wine!)If you don't have any auditions to bring that night, who cares! Just come join us for a regular old VO workout and a little bit of VINO! Come have a good time, drink a little wine and record your auditions with The Doc in "The Vault"!

Hey! See if the VO Doc is right for you or pass the word on to a friend.... The next "Get to Know Me" Class startsJune 25th!

Thanks Chris!

I started out taking the "Get To Know Me" class because everyone I know was telling me to go to him. Loved the guy and the method, so I got in on the commercial class and booked a national TV spot about a month later. Since Bill worked so well to get me sounding good, I did a new commercial demo with him and took part in a few margarita nights and also started working with Marissa Holmes in the Sunday Workout Group. Thanks to the classes, the demo, the workout group and things I learned from Bill and Marissa, I just signed with Vox, Inc as my voice over agent.

The man took my acting and career to another level, and you can't put a price on that. Now I tell everyone to see Bill, because I know for a fact he'll make your shit good.

Thanks Nathan!

“I found Bill Holmes on the recommendation of a talented voiceover friend when I felt my voiceover career had gone stale. My first class with him made me realize Bill wasn’t like most other voiceover coaches; he didn’t try to make me do it “his way,” but instead he loosened me up, got me free, and helped me find my own voice. He also reminded me how much fun voiceover work can be! Later, he did my new commercial demo reel, which turned out great, and it got me the agency I have that has booked me on VO spots from Jell-O to the White Castle commercials I’m doing now – and I use Bill’s Compost Productions Studios whenever I record a spot via ISDN, and also when I do auditions that I want to sound just right, because it’s a top-notch place. Bill’s a top-notch voice and audition coach!”Nathan Smythe(Voice of White Castle)
